+ frame check sequence (checksum) by default.
- Too many protocols have been updated to list here.
+ • The TCP dissector gained a new “Reassemble out-of-order segments”
+ preference to fix dissection and decryption issues in case TCP
+ segments are received out-of-order. See the User’s Guide, chapter
+ TCP Reassembly for details.
- New and Updated Capture File Support

+ “ssl.*” display filter fields are supported but may be removed in

+ tables can now be copied from other profiles using a button in

- routines) has been completely removed in favour of wmem which is
- now fully mature.
- * The (long-since-broken) Python bindings support has been removed.
- If you want to write dissectors in something other than C, use Lua.
- * Plugins can now create GUI menu items.
- __________________________________________________________________
+ • When importing from hex dump, it’s now possible to add an
+ ExportPDU header with a payload name. This calls the specific
+ dissector directly without lower protocols.
-Getting Wireshark
+ • The sshdump and ciscodump extcap interfaces can now use a proxy
+ for the SSH connection.
- Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
- [2]https://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
+ • Dumpcap now supports the -a packets:NUM and -b packets:NUM
+ options.
- Vendor-supplied Packages
+ • Wireshark now includes a “No Reassembly” configuration profile.
- Most Linux and Unix vendors supply their own Wireshark packages. You
- can usually install or upgrade Wireshark using the package management
- system specific to that platform. A list of third-party packages can be
- found on the [3]download page on the Wireshark web site.
- __________________________________________________________________
+ • Wireshark now supports the Russian language.
+
+ • The build system now supports AppImage packages.
-File Locations
+ • The Windows installers now ship with Qt 5.12.0. Previously they
+ shipped with Qt 5.9.7.
- Wireshark and TShark look in several different locations for preference
- files, plugins, SNMP MIBS, and RADIUS dictionaries. These locations
- vary from platform to platform. You can use About->Folders to find the
- default locations on your system.
- __________________________________________________________________
+ • Support for DTLS and TLS decryption using pcapng files that embed
+ a Decryption Secrets Block (DSB) containing a TLS Key Log (Bug
+ 15252[4]).
-Known Problems
+ • The editcap utility gained a new --inject-secrets option to
+ inject an existing TLS Key Log file into a pcapng file.
- Dumpcap might not quit if Wireshark or TShark crashes. ([4]Bug 1419)
+ • A new dfilter function string() has been added. It allows the
+ conversion of non-string fields to strings so string functions
+ (as contains and matches) can be used on them.
- The BER dissector might infinitely loop. ([5]Bug 1516)
+ Removed Features and Support
- Capture filters aren't applied when capturing from named pipes. ([6]Bug
- 1814)
+ • The legacy (GTK+) user interface has been removed and is no
+ longer supported.
- Filtering tshark captures with read filters (-R) no longer works.
- ([7]Bug 2234)
+ • Wireshark requires Qt 5.2 or later. Qt 4 is no longer supported.
- Resolving ([8]Bug 9044) reopens ([9]Bug 3528) so that Wireshark no
- longer automatically decodes gzip data when following a TCP stream.
+ • Wireshark requires GLib 2.32 or later.
- Application crash when changing real-time option. ([10]Bug 4035)
+ • Wireshark requires GnuTLS 3.2 or later as optional dependency.
- Hex pane display issue after startup. ([11]Bug 4056)
+ • Building Wireshark requires Python 3.4 or newer, Python 2.7 is
+ unsupported.
+
+ • Building Wireshark requires CMake. Autotools is no longer
+ supported.
+
+ • TShark’s -z compare option was removed.

+ DisplayPort AUX channel data from linux kernel drivers.
+
+ sdjournal, an extcap that captures systemd journal entries.
+
+ Major API Changes
+
+ • Lua: the various logging functions (debug, info, message, warn
+ and critical) have been removed. Use the print function instead
+ for debugging purposes.
+
+ • Lua: on Windows, file-related functions such as dofile now assume
+ UTF-8 paths instead of the local code page. This is consistent
+ with Linux and macOS and improves compatibility on non-English
+ systems. (Bug 15118[5])
+
+ Getting Wireshark
+
+ Wireshark source code and installation packages are available from
+ https://www.wireshark.org/download.html[6].
